| 0:00.0 | It's EV News briefly for Saturday, June the 12th, everything EV in less than five minutes. |
| 0:03.5 | Having got time for the full podcast, that's okay. |
| 0:05.3 | Let's get you up to date with everything you need to know. |
| 0:07.1 | Honda, unveiling a compact SUV at Goodwood saying that if produced, it would become their smallest entry-level electric car. |
| 0:15.9 | I hope they do. |
| 0:16.5 | Subaru has got some new EVs coming, a trail seeker, electric and one called Uncharted. |
| 0:23.3 | Interesting name for a car. |
| 0:25.1 | The Uncharted could be a bit like Toyota's CHR with a 67 kilowatt-hour battery. |
| 0:31.2 | We'll find out in five days' time when they launch it. |
| 0:33.2 | Ex-Pang is starting European sales of the new G6 and G9s. |
| 0:37.1 | They're the SUVs in eight European countries, including Germany, France and Norway. |

| 1:12.5 | and fighting and opposing the new emission standards there. Polestar pointing out that these brands |
| 1:18.1 | meet similar rules globally. So why fight them in Australia? Well, it's their own self-interest, |
| 1:24.4 | not because they want Australians to breathe clean air, but because the Japanese carmakers could fight the rules there. Polestar, meanwhile, taking a pop at them and saying |
| 1:34.2 | that it's scaremongering. BMW, doing really well in Europe and the US, but poorly in China. It's |
| 1:40.9 | the story over and over again, isn't it? Chinese just want those at the minute, |
| 1:49.2 | and I think probably going forward as well, those domestic startups and domestic brands, |
| 1:55.5 | like B.YD and etc. taking sales from everywhere from BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and more. |
